##[
## note 1
`useHead` should ideally be used as the default but lots of packages (e.g. `chronos`)
don't have release tags (or have really old ones compared to HEAD), making it
impossible to test them reliably here.

packages listed here should ideally have regularly updated release tags, so that:
* we're testing recent versions of the package
* the version that's tested is stable enough even if HEAD may occasionally break

## note 2: D20210308T165435:here
nimble packages should be testable as follows:
git clone $url $dir && cd $dir
NIMBLE_DIR=$TMP_NIMBLE_DIR XDG_CONFIG_HOME= nimble install --depsOnly -y
NIMBLE_DIR=$TMP_NIMBLE_DIR XDG_CONFIG_HOME= nimble test

if this fails (e.g. nimcrypto), it could be because a package lacks a `tests/nim.cfg` with `--path:..`,
so the above commands would've worked by accident with `nimble install` but not with `nimble install --depsOnly`.
When this is the case, a workaround is to test this package here by adding `--path:$srcDir` on the test `cmd`.
